Maybe the Evo is keeping them afloat on an image basis. But I'm sure they're not selling that many of them to keep Mitsu above water. Car company's don't make squat on cars like that. It's about the marketing. Plus, I see a lot more Outlanders and Lancer grocery-getters on the roads than Evos.

But I do have to agree with you that buying an Evo is no where near as bad as buying an SRT-4!! At least an Evo won't torque-steer you right off the road and into a ditch!

 

actually mitsu has man popular models of cars in japan including 4x4's like the pajaro. evo's are not the only thing keeping them up...but then haveing some of our top people busted never helps much...and the MR isn't that much lighter only about 80lbs. and it takes 100lbs to make a .10 of a second diffrence.

 

THANK YOU ive been trying to tell people that forever. I back you up completely How many evos do you know that run 10's alot and theres not much stis out there that run 10's.
ALSO http://mitsubishimotors.com/lancerevolution/index.html bottom far left MR is official.

 

Also i read in Automobile magazine that in 2007 the skyline will be introduced to the U.S.

 

Still a mitsu hu, lamo response. And yes they did get help with their debt. Where have you been?

 

The MR is here...I mean it is here at the local Sactown dealerships, i think there is 2 of them. I must say I give props to you guys for buying Subaru over other brands, but for all of those that are Bais toward the EVO and saything things like "Buying a EVO isnt as bad as buying a SRT-4" watch out. It time for for you to get spanked ( like one other pointed out...."There is alot more EVO's in the 10's than STi's/WRX's). The MR is BAD!!! I would get one, but I like my GSR EVO just fine.

I like Subaru ( which is why I joined I-club). Again for you Bais out there if you see a MR and think you can beat go ahead, just prepare youself for its exhaust gases. I wont go into reguakr EVOs and this is about the MR

 

The Japanese Government kicked in and is helping out Mitsubishi. Oh and 40 grand for a MR I wouldnt doubt it, not because of financing of Mitsubishi, just because the MR is going to be very rare and of course Dealerships are going to try and get a premium for them. Just look at how much they wanted for a regular evo when they first came out, same with the STi.
